The Story
- From an early age, my insatiable curiosity and passion for knowledge charted my path toward a meaningful career in education. As an educator, I have dedicated myself to nurturing others, aiming to expand their horizons in multifaceted ways—educationally, emotionally, personally, and spiritually. As a proud first-generation college graduate, I am driven to share my journey, hoping to inspire and uplift those who walk similar paths.
- I am a staunch advocate for addressing and bridging the gaps in racial, social, economic, educational, and gender inequalities. My commitment to equity fuels my work and my desire to empower the next generation of leaders.
- Beyond my professional role, I cherish my identities as a wife, mother of two, sister, daughter, and friend. Rooted in Tampa, FL, I actively engage with my community, collaborating with fellow change agents across the Tampa Bay area. My passion for mentorship manifests through initiatives like The Princess Project and GiGi's (Girls in God's Image), where I invest in the lives of pre-teen and teenage girls, fostering positive character development and self-empowerment.
- With over two decades of experience in education, I have served in various instructional and leadership capacities. Currently, as an Assistant Professor at The University of Tampa, I am privileged to train aspiring school leaders as both a faculty member and program coordinator for the Master's in Educational Leadership program. My academic credentials include a Master's and Doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of South Florida, with research interests focused on culturally responsive leadership, teacher leadership, dispositions assessment, and leadership in high-needs schools.
- Additionally, I serve as a Diversity and Inclusion Consultant, partnering with local charter and private schools to enhance their commitment to equitable practices. My journey is not just a career; it is a mission to uplift others, foster inclusive environments, and cultivate the leaders of tomorrow.
